    What bothers me is that they always have to put NPCs in the mix. Why not just make IC someplace people can pvp without annoying npcs wandering around? Seems like that would help the lag too. Let IC be a giant arena and leave the PVE stuff for the dungeons.

    AD is shame, they work together with EP.
    There're no Alliance Wars any more.

    Emperor ship means nothing. I used to look up to someone who had "former emperor" as title, but guild from different factions make agreements and give emperor ship. The whole system is a farce. If I now see a "former emperor" he means nothing to me...

Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    I think it is a bit related to zergs, but the moment I realize I can´t use a door, skill, mount or something extremely stupid I feel like this game doesn´t deliver a s**t. For over a year we have had performance issues in Cyrodiil. That is something my common sense just can´t adapt to.

    Or all of the above..?
    Lets see, a clueless company that left PvP in the dark since day 1.

    Imagine the potential of this game with some of the changes to Cyrodiil reverted or never have happened in the first place. Battlegrounds, arena's, duelling... but nope. They cared about the PvE and the roleplayers first. Then the console sellout and now they give the PC players a PvE grinding update every 6 months to keep them satisfied.

    But yeah... lets sum it up:

    - Zergs
    - Lack of objectives
    - CP and Telvar Stone grind
    - Useless rewards
    - Removal of camps, oil catapult snare made purgeable, meatbag healing debuff nerfed and my class nerfed to fuck every single patch, ground oil removed, balance being an absolute joke in general when it comes to everything tbh
    - The developers not listening and Brian Wheeler seems to be going on a 3-month holiday every now and then, but then he suddenly appears out of nowhere to give us an update on PvP, then disappears again
    - No cap on CP in PvP and no catch up system
    - Weak sieges (they got buffed yes I know but they are still weak as fuck if you're fighting anything organized or when you're vastly outnumbered or trying to hold a defensive position) and since every pathetic zergboy's skillbar looks like this: AOE PURGE HEAL HEAL AOE there is literally no point in trying anymore
    - Having 50000 buff campaigns
    - Former Emp passives removed because apparently they were unbalanced and the CP system is not = ZOS logic
    - Lets not talk about the performance cause every time I think about the performance in this game I feel my *** are going to explode out of frustration

    To be honest not much of a point going back anymore, I came back after 3 months in preparation for the Imperial City but now that the only thing I was looking forward to has gone to absolute crap, there isn't really a point anymore. Not to mention that a lot of friends and guildies also gave up.

    What's wrong with Zergs? That's strategy. Zerg vs Zerg vs Zerg is an EPIC battle and the lag is well worth it. Being run over by Zergs suck, but that's just part of the game. When I'm part of a Zerg and we run over everyone, it feels so good.

    My only complaint is IC players are counted against the campaign population.

    Lack of objectives
    Zergs and lack of rewards play a big part of it for me too. They're seriously gonna need to revamp Cyrodill soon to maintain dedicated PvP-ers. This is from someone that started at CONSOLE LAUNCH. I don't know how you PC guys stuck it out for so long the feels for you are real. It's really starting to get stale.

    So many people BEGGING for Magicka Detonation to become what it should be - a zerg buster. Instead you promote zergs and adjust proxy det to make it more useful to zergs. Jesus.

    I bust my ass to get into the top two percent to get gold max level gear with exploration as a trait. You've got to be kidding me. I'm dreading Asura's coming to a close in 6 days time.

    And finally. PvP-ing should be a viable way to play if someone just wants to PvP. Experience and Gold rewards need further adjustment.

    Zergs
    - gear grind
    - various other grinds
    - bonuses given to side with more numbers around the clock (ie. scroll & keep bonuses)
    - bad net code
    - cc break responsiveness
    - many poor aural cues and too many important aural cues culled
    - some poor visual cues and too many important visual cues able to be altogether cancelled and/or substantially clipped
    - animation cancelling is a bit out of hand
    - cp system
    - making a new PVE/grind area and calling it PVP content
    - ttk potentially both too long and too short (both dps and mitigation ranges are too wide & animation cancelling is overly abusable)
    - Heavy attack for 40 damage against a player...?
    - Oneshot Compilation #2 - just for the LOLs

    Zergs- people being in the top 2% and thinking they're good at the game because they ran around the map with 40 people spamming AOE.

    Lack of rewards.

    The need to do boring (for me) pve when all i want to do is pvp.

    The CP system- You need atleast 300 in order to be competitive it seems.

    Damage reduction - this was supposed to help newer players or something right? All it has done is increase the need for CP.

    The lag....never seen anything like it,once it starts i just close the game because i know its going to be pointless playing, and it gets laggy every.single.damn.time.

    Pretty sure I saw this exact thread some weeks ago...

    And it had a "Current ingame mechanics" option. Dunno what happened to it. So I'll just go ahead and pick all of those, since all those have issues, to some extent.

    what ruins pvp for me is 2 things

    i love eso and i love pvp but,

    there is 3 things ruining pvp for me right now:

    1) these champion points
    i will NEVER be able to catch up to people with those 501 CP, NEVER!
    fact is i only have 278 champion points, and right now that means i pretty much get eaten alive by those with 350 or more champion points and most people have well over 500 and even 1000 champion points. ive played every day since beta and launch and i know for a fact i have played fairly and not grinded and grinded because i hate grinding!
    yet those who grind thier brains out are allowed to be more powerfull then the rest of us? its not only unfair its down right mean of the developers to allow people to be so much more over powered like that.
    why in heck are you letting people go way out in strength above others?
    really terrible!

    2) the fact that crowd controll and forcing me to be knocked down on a constant basis and locked into place constantly completely overpowering me with high damage. for me makes pvp unplayable and honestly turns my stomach!
    the devs seem to have also placed every few foot something in the enviroment that STOPs me from moving and i cant move!
    that alone really pisses me off
    I HATE IT!

    3) the class imbalances:
    its obvious that sorcerers (and used to be dragonights) DOMINNATED everything in pvp
    every class should have the same effect and same identical ability damage as the other classes. and right now they dont.

    Zos progressively taking away all possible advantages small groups had over the zergtards. GG eso see you all on battlefront 3 :)

    I spent months promoting you.... You made a difference.... Then you disappeared....

    Yeah well most of our crew quit with 1.7, its a garbage update, little pvp much pve.
    You'll find the remnants of short bus in Kholes i believe. To be honest I didnt want to find myself running around in some zerg guild on DC(since there are plenty of them) My good friend unruh on ep stayed to a traditional 12 man I went and played with(and will continue to do so If i log in) but this game just isnt as fun as it was in 1.4-1.6 It really just destroyed the small group mentality by weakening the potential of good players and its just more frustrating than fulfilling these days

    Quit playing (for other reasons,) before 1.7 ever hit, but we all saw it coming, and I can't say I miss the game knowing what it has become.
